ROCHESTER, Minn. – A former Mayo Clinic surgeon was charged in a data breach at the clinic last fall. The employee, Ahmad Maher Abdel-Munim Alsughayer, 28, now living in Saginaw, Michigan, was accused of getting into protected health information and nude photographs of a female patient without authorization. The access was not from an on-site clinic workstation, according to the complaint. The charge stems from a civil suit against Mayo by a Hennepin County woman who said that Alsughayer did not have any work-related need to see her breasts and genitals. He has been ordered to return to Rochester for a court appearance in July.
